SEEKING WORK - based in Israel (and Chicago through mid-June), but work remotely I've been a full-stack Web developer since 1993, and a consultant since 1995. I have extensive experience with Ruby (and Rails), Python, PostgreSQL, JavaScript, and many other technologies. My real value isn't my extensive technological know-how. Rather, it's my ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical people, and to turn that communication into business value. I know how to take business needs and turn them into software, by myself and with others. I also know how to describe technical issues in terms that business people can understand, that allow us to make informed decisions. Many of my clients have used me as a remote, part-time CTO or lead developer. I also help developers and teams improve their coding and management practices. I frequently teach in-person courses in Python, Ruby/Rails, PostgreSQL, and Git to such companies as Apple, Cisco, Freescale, HP, SANDisk, and VMWare. I also offer online coaching/pairing services to individuals and teams. My aim: Long-term, interesting projects with nice people. (Short-term relationships can also be fine, depending on the work and my schedule.) Bottom line, I like to speak with and help nice people, and feel privileged that my work lets me do so. If I can be of help to you or your company, contact me at reuven@lerner.co.il, or on Skype as "reuvenlerner". You can also read more about me at http://lerner.co.il/ http://lerner.co.il/ .
